Writing Roulette: All the Generators You'd Ever Want, Part 2

Note to readers:I've gone through all the links and have fixed all the broken ones. If you're found some good generators that I don't have, leave a note in the comments and I'll be sure to add that in (and credit you for your efforts!). And if you find broken links, please let me know. Thank you so much!

Today is day two of generators for story ideas. If you missed part one, go check it out now. The list was so long, I had to split it into two posts. Have fun!

SettingTerrain Generator: comes up with descriptive forests and oceansCity Generator: build your own description with nineteen different aspects.City Map Generator: make a map of your setting with your own parameters. Blank Fantasy Maps: Sedeslav has created some wonderful fantasy maps where you can insert your own names of towns, kingdoms, and rivers. Highly recommended. Map 1 | Map 2 | Map 3 | Map 4

More sites to check out:The Forge: Generators for fantasy names, creatures, spells, and settings.Serendipity: a huge amount of generators, names, characters, setting, clothing, swear words, and more.Chaotic Shiny: another large collection, including culture, accessories, and diseases, and much more.Seventh Sanctum: more generators, with superheroes, magic, and humor, among many others.Where the Map Ends: more generators for language, villains, and fantasy characters.The Generator Blog keeps up with new generators that come along.

Do you have any favorite generators to add to the list? Leave a link in the comments.

Here's one I just found: writtenkitten. You write 100 words and get a picture of a cute kitten. Write another 100 and get a new kitten. It's fun to use if you need a little extra incentive or need to get into writing mode after doing something else.

I would suggest copying, pasting and saving to a document every once and a while.

About Me

I'm a homeschool mom, desperate for more time to write. I love to encourage other writers, and share what I've learned so far.
I'm finishing my second novel and researching my third, I'm a freelance writer and editor, and I homeschool four teenagers. They're the reason I write while the rice boils.
